Finally caught after so long eluding would-be rescuers

“She was captured late this morning and is undergoing treatment for dehydration and starvation,” the wildlife rescue group said. “She is very weak but showing small signs of improvement and we are hopeful. More updates and photos to come.”

That after working with another organization, Sierra Wildlife Rescue, as well as dozens of volunteers in attempt to capture and then treat the coyote.

Lorie Barrett was among those to help with the rescue.

“We just captured the coyote with the jar on his head and are in transport to the veterinarian,” she offered by way of update on social media. “She is currently receiving care and fluids. I will continue to keep everyone informed, her condition is poor we hope she can process food and the damage is repairable . She only weighed 15.9 pounds.”

But it’s not all bad news.

“It’s reported that she’s doing well this evening and has some feisty still in her,” Barrett added.
